Doesn’t it just piss you off when the traffic cops do road blocks in rush hour?
I’m a law-abiding driver and believe the traffic cops should do more of this but, for Pete’s sake, why in rush hour? (And yes, even little old East London, where I live, has a rush hour).
Why not hold them outside of peak traffic times more often and on a regular basis throughout the year instead of doing one big campaign once a year, which is essentially for public relations.
Well, I’ve got news for the powers that be in the traffic department. Your PR gig ain’t working. We’re not blind. We can see people breaking traffic rules all the time all year round and you guys are seldom to be seen.
Even my four-year-old daughter once remarked thoughtfully while we were on the road: "There’s not many policemen, are there? Not like Mr Plod."
East London is in the grip on one these pointless campaigns at the moment and its the source of much unhappiness and stress on the roads. Well, Grubstreet has laid its hands on the road-block schedule for this month (it runs till Juky 31).
So, good people of Buffalo City, this is my TGIF gift to you. Read it, have a chuckle and either leave work at 2pm today or pencil in a nice early restaurant dinner (and I can recommend the quattro cento pizza at Grazia’s) overlooking the ocean before you head home. Mind the driver only has one cleansing ale though.
